Default Beautiful, Max

Why not add the FGT to the picture?
Even more beautifuller!
Just ask Emma to be a good girl and drive it out.
Emma's :love: of Fords is legendary!

Hello Max,

I see you've found a use for the Scammell trailer. Is that the line up for Corowa? It will be a slower trip than normal dragging the carrier along

There was a young lass from Yass,
Sweet and Innocent , yet so full of sass,
Her dad and her Uncle,
Had trucks by the trunkful,
Does she love 'em, too? Bet your ass!

To a farmhouse by the Yass River,
A Tilt Tray would often deliver,
Old trucks full of rust,
"A Ford cab 12? Yes I must!",
while kathy sighs, and gives a small shiver.

You buggers are all off your rockers. You realize, of course, that if I ever get down there, you'll have a damned hard timed getting rid of me... scares me more than it should you!

Em??? Hi ... can I help with the driving? Or do you want to do the driving (I can't do gears/sticks and stuff) and you can run them down and I'll run out and whack them with my frying pan before they get cold and while they can still feel pain? I'd enjoy that lots and would love to help!

What's the origin of that flat bed trailer with the carrier aboard?

The trailer was made by scammel and I believe it carried a radar transmitter

Hmmm...a CMP flat bedding a carrier! Impressive.

Guess if you can tow it, the CMP can handle it.

I should imagine that it would be a slow moving operation, especially gearing up.

Since I don't have the vehicle to flat bed my CMP, perhaps I should reverse my thinking and tow my personal vehicle behind the CMP!

Default They are crazy

Dad and his brother John were trying to crank start this blitz this afternoon. They were wondering if there are any sugestions why it wont start. Personally l thing that it is because it is a Ford.

But Emma, I'm pretty impressed they managed to drive it down to the house... bet you couldn't do that with your shiny new ute!

Can't keep a good cab 12 down!

Hey Keith she was running a bit rough and the a steering didn't have a lot going for it. I reckon when created it in cacada they left a few thing out.
